The past few months we have seen some incredible books and documents. This week was no different.

A lot of treasures come through our store and we are usually so focused on finding new homes for them that we forget to share.

Here we have 2 copies of the 1830 Book of Mormon. Are you interested in picking up an early edition of the Book of Mormon or have any to sell? Please give us a call!

Come join us *today* from 4 to 5 PM for a meet and greet with author Linda Hamilton. She will be here to chat and sign copies of her brand new Gothic (Mormon!) novel, "The Fourth Wife."

The Utah Territory, 1882: Hazel Russon’s eternal salvation depends on her willingness to live meekly and obediently by following the teachings of the church and the men who lead it. But when she is promised to a man she has never met in a plural marriage, Hazel uncovers deadly secrets that threaten to devour her whole.

Who is the biggest threat to Hazel? Her husband? His other wives? Or the house that holds secrets of its own?

Jacob, the charming yet volatile man Hazel has been married to, brings her home to his decaying estate nestled in the Utah wilderness. Shocked, she discovers she is to share the crumbling home with his three other wives whose loyalty Hazel can’t decide. But most sinister of all is the house itself that threatens to burst with the secrets seeping from its walls...

Inspired by author and historian Linda Hamilton’s own Mormon ancestors, two sisters plural married to the same man in 1800s Utah, THE FOURTH WIFE is an evocative reckoning with religion, feminism, and the many voices history has left behind.
